Established in 1999, TIN Arts is passionate about the performing arts and the positive impact they have on people's lives. Their vision is to create a world where everybody has access to the arts, and they strive to achieve this by removing barriers and increasing access to high-quality dance and performing arts.
Over the years, TIN Arts has engaged with over 120,000 individuals, running over 20,000 workshops and delivering over 1,000 performances to an audience of over 100,000 people. Their dedication and commitment to their craft have earned them numerous awards, showcasing their excellence in the field.
What sets TIN Arts apart is their focus on inclusivity. They create and present great art that is created with and performed by artists with a learning disability or autism. Their unique approach allows everyone, regardless of their abilities, to engage with the arts and showcase their talents.
One of their key initiatives is the Emerging Young Dancers programme, where they actively find and nurture emerging talent. Through this programme and other initiatives, TIN Arts believes in the power of training and development to unlock the potential in individuals, helping them grow as artists.
In addition to their local impact, TIN Arts also works on a national level, developing and supporting networks across the United Kingdom. By doing so, they aim to increase their reach and maximise their impact, bringing the arts to more communities and individuals.
TIN Arts is a registered charity, and they rely on the support of generous donors and sponsors to continue reducing barriers to participation in the arts.
